Typically, potential employers will want to check the truthfulness and validity of the assertions made by a candidate on a resume or job application. For example, a potential employer may want to be assured that the candidate had not been fired from a previous position or that his educational credentials were in fact earned by him. However, past and present employers and schools may be hesitant to release this information for fear of violating the candidate’s privacy. To combat this, a potential employer can use an Authorization to Release Information. This release is signed by the candidate when he applies for a position and expressly allows past and present employers and schools to release information to the employer regarding such things as performance evaluations, work-related characteristics and termination records.

This form can be used in Vermont.

This package contains: (1) Instructions and Checklist for the Authorization to Release Information (the “Authorization”); (2) Information regarding the Authorization; (3) the Authorization.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals seeking employment often need to provide potential employers with a way to verify their past job performance and educational background. By signing the Employee Authorization to Release Information, candidates enable their previous employers and educational institutions to share relevant information, thus facilitating a smoother hiring process.
  • Situations requiring thorough background checks, such as positions in sensitive industries like healthcare or finance, necessitate the use of this form. Employers in these fields must ensure that candidates meet specific qualifications and have a clean employment history, making the authorization essential for compliance.
  • For those applying for jobs in competitive markets, having a signed authorization can expedite the verification process. This form allows employers to quickly confirm the accuracy of a candidate's claims, which can be a deciding factor in hiring decisions.
  • Employers who want to maintain transparency and trust in their hiring processes often request this authorization. By obtaining consent from candidates, they can legally access necessary information without infringing on privacy rights, thus protecting both parties involved.
  • In cases where a candidate has a complex employment history, such as multiple short-term positions, this form can clarify their background. It allows employers to gather insights into the candidate's work ethic and reliability from previous employers, which is crucial for making informed hiring choices.

Do Not Use If:

  • This form is not appropriate when the candidate is applying for a position that does not require any background checks or verification of past employment. In such cases, the employer may not need to access this information.
  • If the candidate has concerns about privacy and does not wish to disclose their employment history or educational background, they should refrain from using this form. It's important to respect individual privacy preferences.
  • In situations where the candidate has a clean and straightforward employment history, the use of this authorization may be unnecessary. Employers may be able to verify information through other means without needing explicit consent.
  • This form should not be used when the candidate is applying for a job that does not involve sensitive information or responsibilities. For example, casual or temporary positions may not require such detailed verification.
  • If the candidate is underage or lacks the legal capacity to provide consent, this form should not be utilized. In these cases, a parent or guardian may need to provide authorization instead.
